Summer School
The 2023 Summer School will take place from the afternoon of Monday 10th to the morning of Wednesday 12th July. It will be taught by Daniela Francesca Virdis (University of Cagliari) and Maria Cristina Caimotto (University of Turin). We are honoured to announce that it will be closed by a guest lecture by Prof Andrew Goatly (Lingnan University). The title of the Summer School is "Linguistic Approaches to Ecological Discourse". Please note that the Summer School will be limited to 20 participants and places will be allocated on a first-paid-first-served basis. In line with the open and inclusive spirit of the PALA Association, the Summer School is open also to non-students. Students however have priority.
